Hadlock posted:My main issue here is that "traditionally" there has been some sort of minecart transportation system that would take you to the various parts of the map, usually over land. In a continent based scenario, boats seem to work a lot better. Without some sort of organized nautical navigation system, I feel like you're going to have a bunch of signs that says something like, "Hadlock's Island: 600 blocks west, then 200 blocks south" and "Rack's Island: 1200 Blocks north, 450 blocks east". That's a lot of distance to cover, and I'm not sure you can really trust the average player to do that kind of navigation on their own. Having continents/islands spread out 600+ blocks apart means either hugely increased travel times on SMP servers, or there will need to be some dramatic improvements to fast travel in the Nether that Notch hasn't touched upon yet. Neither based mine carts would be pretty fast. I mean, a cart covers 8 blocks a second and full speed, and the neither has a compression of 8, so you'd cover 64 real world blocks with every second in a neither cart. 10 seconds would cross one of those oceans.

Shameproof posted:*snip* These are some good ideas. I don't really like the train tweaks though. More rails is nice, but warping kind of ruins the fun and danger of riding a cart around. Also, I'd go for something that allows for the proper linking of carts behind a powered cart than just making them into autocarts.

Well, to be honest, forests and plains in the real world tend to be a bit dull as well. What the generator needs though is a better transition, and more logical placement. Mountains should run in long chains, occasionally fully surrounding a biome in the middle (Like a desert). Swamps should be long and coastal, and all the biomes should be a lot bigger. As far as making things interesting, that'd require more stuff in the actual world. More tree variations, more complex chasm placement so you get big canyons, more dirt and rock types, and more structures like towns.

FFffff. Can they stop with the constant releases until they get an API? Really? Do you really need a brand new release that adds a few improvements and breaks all the community ones for half a month? You're releasing snapshots for anyone that wants to try it. What the hell Mojang.

I wish they'd just freeze development until then, that's all. It's annoying to watch everything in the community freeze for a month. edit: Also, yes, to the guy two up, they did switch back to making an API.

Two months wasn't long enough, we need to see if there will be another buildcraft patch!" finally become "all right, you can add these features officially now."? How about he patches when he has the API he promised months ago?

If it's only two or three weeks down the line I wouldn't mind waiting, but if it's months away, not having any updates at all between now and then seems rather extreme. Learn to download the snapshot. It's right there for people that want updates.

Hadlock posted:Is this correct? Our world is from Jan 2011 and we've got villages and swamps, etc. in the newly explored areas, even though the older core/spawn area doesn't have them. As I understand it, newly generated terrain always follows the new terrain rules. We have a "seam" in the oceans where the old terrain gen meets the new terrain gen (sea level changed at Beta 1.8). So in theory if the new terrain rules follow what the old ones have, then newly generated terrain would create hills higher than 128 (if they choose to go that route) Jeb's coding it so it ignores the new rules specifically because people hated the seams.

I google translated the original article and it didn't make a whole lot of sense but it doesn't sound like they'll be charging for future updates. Yeah, but apparently the word is Mojang wants to host the mods when it allows modding, so it seems like they feel they need compensation for that. We'll see what happens. I hope it's just a lack of context and jumping to conclusion.

Enzer posted:Still don't think I am understanding this fully, they want to set up servers run by Mojang that have a monthly fee? If that is what is going on, that is all fine and dandy as long as "third party" server services are still an option, because honestly there is no way their customer support would match the quality I have seen with Minehost while playing on WilsonSMP let alone be able to match what you pay for hardware. I could see a lot of backlash if it was not anything but an optional service. Nothing is ever enough for a company. They're doing fine, but they'll still want more. More profit. More money. More market share.

Laser Spider posted:I'm surprised that modders seem to be taking so long with updates. Was 1.3 so incredibly different that it is taking them longer than the week of prerelease to get everything working again? Each release is different because it's released obsfucated and has to be mapped. Then the API's have to come out, and then the mods update. 1.3 changes everything too in the engine for single player, so there's that. Mod's will be gone for a month or so.
